The Warriors won't make it past the west Finals.
The Spurz will beat the Raptors in 6
If I was a betting man I'd come to you find out how not to bet. :)

The pro-Jordan bias of the refs was just unbelievable, though. Not a few playoff games were won by the Bulls — or, at least, won more easily — on that basis.

The combined team of the 1996 Barbie and Hello Kitty could sweep the Warriors.
If Robbins or the Stone Masters had today's means of opportunity and advancements(?) in climbing, they would be climbing 5.18.
Listen to yourselves, stupid pundits.

The naysayers won't shut up, even if the Warriors five-peat come 2019...

Golden State still needs 16 victories for widespread consideration as the best team ever. If they fail, it’s not for lack of motivation. These Warriors burn to be the best, whether you’re ready or not, whether you admit it or not. History is happening in Oakland. It’s happening quickly, as men of considerable ambition dictate its shape.
Considerable.

This sort of thing has been an NBA problem for decades. Established stars get the benefit of the doubt on the charge/block, traveling, and against whom to charge the foul. The NBA is, after all, entertainment. They have less to sell if their stars can't play. As calls evolved to make traveling an optional violation and basketball a contact sport, they put a very great deal of discretion in the refs' hands.

GS knows how to handle Lebron (see Iguodala,MVP 2015 Finals). Lets see if Lebron shows up with a team this time.
As for Houston, Harden will do his usual drive the lane with elbows flying and get the foul calls.
#1 in the league in foul shot attempts, Harden with 837
#2 is DeMarcus Cousins with 663
Steph Curry 394

Certainly some truth there, but the refs don't have nearly as much discretion when somebody just chucks the ball into the hoop from 30' again and again. Curry breaking his own record of 286 3-pointers with this year's 402 belongs more on the thread about aliens on earth than it does here! That level of long range accuracy is truly an all time phenomenon and not materially altered by any rule changes since the 90s.
